lyrics

Lately we’ve all had to much time on our hands
The fiddle and the mandolin just sit unplayed
So we did a little thinking and, we weren’t even drinking and
Decided we all need a brand new holiday

Happy Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day!
Look alive now and be of good cheer
Cause it’s too much fun to be done after only one
So let’s celebrate a second time each year

For this one we’ll leave those tired images behind
Leprechauns, pots of gold and cheap green beer
We’ll share a pint and laugh with friends and simply feel alive again
God knows of late we’ve had our share of tears

Happy Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day!
Look alive now and be of good cheer
Cause it’s too much fun to be done after only one
So let’s celebrate a second time each year

Our motives are not purely altruistic
It’s hard to make a living playing reels and jigs
Hope we answered “where’s the craic?” and that this pub will have us back
So please don’t hate the band we’re just trying to land more gigs

Happy Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day!
Look alive now and be of good cheer
Cause it’s too much fun to be done after only one
So let’s celebrate a second time each year
